Notes

💭 EXPERT TIPS

Chicken - You can use boneless chicken breast instead of thighs in this recipe. It will cook in a shorter amount of time.
Fresh Tomatoes - You can use fresh tomatoes instead. 2 large tomatoes should work. 
Cooking - The secret to a goo curry is to give it time. Cooking down the onions, spices and tomatoes for a good amount of time enhances their flavour and makes for the most delicious curry. You will know when it is ready because the oil will separate from the curry at the sides and at the top and the curry will have a shiny appearance. 

🥗 HOW TO SERVE

The best side dishes for a boneless chicken curry are some sort of flatbread like roti/chapatti, naan, paratha, tandoori roti or rice.
You can serve it alongside a vegetarian side such as Aloo Palak or Okra Fries.

Storage Suggestions

Boneless Chicken Curry will keep well in the fridge for 4-5 days in an air tight container in the fridge.  To reheat add a couple of tablespoons of water, place in the microwave or heat in a pot over medium low heat. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
